I cant believe that we dont have anything better in our system ...Marty Turco ...wasnt he retired ??? OMG ....its almost embarassing...the Stanley Cup champs have to sign Marty Turco ..and we already had Rolston ...are we in trouble or not ...

They brought in Turco because there isn't a better option in the system, no matter how much you wish there were. And I can't fault the management for thinking they needed at least one of the top four goaltender positions in the organization to be filled by a developing player. Bad juju to lose both Rask and Khudobin in short order. They have a better chance of getting a decent game a week out of a healthy and rested Turco than Hutch.

Rolston's not Recchi, but he's generally a smart veteran who plays a responsible game. Don't jsut look at his AARP card.

Yep you said it greatest FAN not greatest blind man ....Recchi was an exception ..Wait till you see Turco in the net ....I wouldnt be surprised to see 5 goals against at his 1st game ...and by the way I will be at the game Saturday March 10th ...driving nearly 600 miles one way to see my BRUINS ...unfortunately with those old timers and so many injuries there is no way you can win a Stanley Cup , next year with Hamilton, our injured players back and hopefully one or two trades we'll be in business ...I still admire the efforts by the remaining players ..33-17 shots against NYR ...but we ran out of gas...lets just hope that we play till the Conference Final (that would already be a miracle ...

for virtually any team....it's usually a minor miracle to make the conference finals. you make it sound so insignificant.

I don't hate the signing of Turco. What else was Chia suppose to do ? Like Bookboy said, if we can get a decent game a week from him until the end of the season, it won't be so bad. It was reported that he has been working out on & off the ice this season just in case a team came knocking on his door. I think he is more than capable to back up Thomas till the end of the season. He has to be a better option than Hutch at this point.

As turco is not available for the playoffs, im sure he was signed for insurance purposes only, depth at goaltending and more nhl expersience. I do agree its a bad pickup but pc likely had no other choice, Cant leave the minor leagues without a backup either.

A true statement would be saying that the Bruins have a tough stretch of games coming up. Your opinions are coming off as having given up hope on a Bruins team that give or take a few players won the Stanley Cup last year. I maintain that they have the talent and experience to repeat.

PC didn't screw anything up. He brought us a Stanley Cup last year. Him not overpaying for players that aren't major upgrades is not screwing up. Him not dealing away key core roster players to bring in a guy like Nash was a good decision. Picking up Zanon and a depth D man and a flexible player like Rolston were good depth moves. Trust me, once we get Peverly back and Rolston slots into the third line instead of Pouliot we'll be in great shape. Imagine the following lines:

How else would you have gone out in get to back up TT? Remember that trade market for goalies was dead. Remember that We didnt even need this back up goalie until Rask was injured, until Khudobin was injured. Who would you have gone out and signed to be back up? Turco was the best of the worst case scenario.

Look at it this way: The Bruins lost their #2 and #3 goalies in flash of bad luck. Could have been their #1, but it's not, so really they just have to make sure #1 is healthy and ready for the playoffs.

Between now and then, they could have had to rely on an untested AHL goalie. Instead, they were able to go and get a guy who was signed by the defending cup champs last year to be their #1 goaltender - he wasn't up to the task, but he hadn't fallen completely out of favour. He's been around, knows the game, knows the shooters. Could be a heck of a lot worse.

And last - to have made the kind of trade that would make the Bruins stronger regardless of injuries? Would have meant trading guys who are still healthy and on the ice. Maybe it would have been Rask, but then you'd be exactly where you are right now in terms of goalies You can only go so far in managing risk.

To have a chance we would need Nathan Horton back, Ferrence back, Paille back , Peverley back and at worst Khudobin as back up ...I have ZERO confidence in Rolston and Turco
